Remzi Kaya

Remzi was our guide for a day in Cappadocia and then later for about five days on a road trip from Pamukkale through to Bodrum, Kusadasi and Canakkale. He was recommended to us by the owner of the excellent Kemerhan Cave Suites in Urgup, Cappadocia. I can't speak highly enough of Remzi - he is a very warm and friendly person, with excellent English and a really impressive knowledge of Turkish and Greek history. Whether it was crusader castles in Bodrum or ancient sites in Troy, Pamukkale and Ephesus, or modern Turkish historical sites like Gallipoli, Remzi really knew his stuff and took care to focus on things that most interested us. At the same time, we got to know him as a person and a friend. I travelled with my wife and seven-year-old daughter, and Remzi was a trusted and caring friend to the family as well as a guide. Anyone who is looking for a guide in Turkey will be very glad if they choose Remzi - some guides have a memorised slab of words that they roll out when they take you to places. Remzi isn't like that - he really knows what he's talking about and explanations come out naturally in conversation. I wish him all the best.
